Are We Losing Balance In the Name of Equality?

Why the Youth Must Rethink the Noise Around Marriage, Masculinity, and Modern Liberation When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, even balance begins to look like injustice.  — Rollo May, Existential Psychologist Marriage in India has always been more than a personal choice. It’s a sacred social contract, a cultural cornerstone. Generations grew up believing in it not as blind submission, but as a partnership rooted in trust, sacrifice, and patience. But lately, a powerful wave is shifting that belief especially among young, urban minds consuming content that sells freedom over commitment, individualism over interdependence. One such example is a recent article titled “ Marriage is dying in India, and women are glad it is. ” While it's important to hear different voices, we must pause and ask: Whose truth are we hearing? And what is the cost of believing only one side? Then and Now: What Changed? Traditionally, Indian households operated on clearly defined roles. Men earn...

The Silent Weight of Unspoken Goodbyes

There’s a particular ache in goodbyes that are never spoken. It isn’t just the parting it’s the silence that lingers, the unanswered questions, the unfinished conversations. These moments leave us suspended between the comfort of what was and the uncertainty of what could have been. We all want closure.

As Seneca wisely said, “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” Our own need for certainty can deepen the pain. When someone leaves without explanation, it’s easy to spiral replaying conversations, wondering if we could have done something differently. But not every story ends with neat answers.

Case 1: When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil. Case 2: One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the ...
